One of the guys (Roger M.) in my club got a bunch of us Y.T.C club guys together on a whim for a hunt , about 9 or ten of us made the trip out to Rhode Island and hit a couple cellars and Mill site. It went pretty well as many coppers were found ( Mass copper , Connecticut copper ,Vermont Copper a William III copper and a few large cents ) and two silver coins ( a Spanish half reale and a seated half dime ) plus a slew of buttons and relics.
heres was my take plus a about a 10 buttons from last weekend with George .
the pinwheel designed cuflink button is made of tombac and a first for me this seated half dime makes my third ever (second 45 ) so far and it was very exciting to see the small silver disk once i opened up the four inch hole .
the shoe buckle is a plain frame ( working mans buckle) but a nice complete one that moves pretty freely it was about 15 inches down in the moist dirt and definately one of my deepest found . it was nice to see some of the guys in the club and meet a couple new ones ,thanks Roger for the invite |)
